Eta Corvi (Eta Crv, η Corvi, η Crv) is an F-type main-sequence star, the sixth-brightest star in the constellation of Corvus. Two debris disks have been detected orbiting this star, one at ~150 AU, and a warmer one within a few astronomical units (AU). Eta …

Eta Corvi's outstanding characteristic, though, is that it is a "Vega" type star with a surrounding disk that may well hold planets (though none has as yet actually been detected). Three far infrared images of Eta Corvi spread from left to right with increasing resolved detail.

Jul 30, 2020 · And then there’s Eta Corvi — a 1.5-billion-year-old star that sits just 60 light-years away. Decades ago, researchers used the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (or IRAS) to find evidence...

Jan 16, 2015 · A glowing red flash captures the moment of impact on the planet. Yellow-white Eta Corvi is shown to the left, with still more comets streaming toward it. Spitzer detected spectral signatures of water ice, organics and rock around Eta Corvi - key ingredients of comets.

η Corvi is a variable giant star of spectral class F2 in the constellation of Corvus. η Corvi visual magnitude is 4.31. Because of its moderate brightness, η Corvi is easily visible to the naked eye from locations with dark skies, while it might be barely visible, or not visible at …

Eta Corvi. Unlike Sol, Eta Corvi is a white-yellow main sequence dwarf star of spectral and luminosity type F2 V (Gray et al, 2006), that has been classed as white as F0 but is probably not yet a subgiant of luminosity type IV.

Eta Corvi. Eta Corvi is the sixth brightest star in Corvus with an apparent magnitude of 4.31. It is a main sequence star, a hydrogen fusing dwarf, that belongs to the spectral type F2 V and is slightly more massive and slightly younger than the Sun. The star is very similar to Vega in the constellation of Lyra, because it has a debris disk in ...

Jan 19, 2015 · The new study reports LBTI's first test observations of stardust, in this case around a mature, sun-like star called eta Corvi known to be unusually dusty. According to the science team, this star is 10,000 times dustier than our own solar system, likely due to a recent impact between planetary bodies in its inner regions.

Eta Corvi is a main sequence star located in the constellation of Corvus, The Crow. It is not part of the Corvus constellation outline but is within the borders of the constellation. Based on the spectral type (F2V), Eta Corvi colour is yellow - white. Eta Corvi temperature is in the range of between 6,000 and 7,500 Kelvin.

Yellow-White star Eta Corvi is located 60 light years away from the Sun. It is a single star of spectral class F2V, that has 143 % of solar mass. For now, there are no known exoplanets in this star system.
